Hand-painted collectible baseball card

Lee Smith entered the Hall of Fame wearing a Chicago Cubs cap. It's the cap he donned for the first 8 seasons of his long 18-year career as one of the game's premier closers. However, he happened to be wearing the red cap of the rival St. Louis Cardinals in 1991, when he saved a personal best 47 games. As a life-long Cubs fan, this fact is bittersweet... like finding a stick of gum stuck to card.

About my collector cards

After purchasing some old wax packs to study the size and texture of gum sticks, I developed my own paint techniques in order to replicate it. Now, I hand-paint bubble gum directly onto vintage baseball cards to create small collectibles.

Here's what you'll receive with this order

• My original hand-painted gum onto a baseball card.
• Each collector card is paint-marked with it's edition number.
• These art cards are protected inside an Ultra Pro One Touch magnetic card holder... customized with my matching Rosen signature label.
• I do not sign these cards by request. However, your package will include bonus items personally autographed by me.

Expected delivery time for pre-orders

Are you purchasing a pre-order? My pre-order listings are for card art that has not been painted yet. In most cases, I already have the card in stock to paint on, and will create your artwork within a few days of your purchase. Thanks for your patience.
